Daily Doodle - Illustrators Block!

A few months ago I received an awesome shiny new sketchbook from Ohh Deer in collaboration with Urban Outfitters! This amazing book is titled 'Daily Doodle'. The daily doodle book is basically an A-Z of drawing prompts. A fantastic idea for artists if you come across block! Here is what the book looks like.

I have been using the book as prompts for new possible ranges and I wanted to share with you some of the designs I have created inspired by this book.

I have also been turning the completed illustrations into stickers and sticking them into the book! :D Check out a couple of them below :) 

I really love this book and i'm super excited to fill it with loads of super cute colourful illustrations. The only downside is sometimes trying to squeeze all your art into one little triangle can be difficult! Hence I created colourful glossy stickers! :D 

You can find this book over on ohh deer here

What do you think of having a daily doodle sketchbook? Would you buy one?

HOW Jewellery Club - Mermaid

The time has come to reveal February's HOW Jewellery Club box contents!  This month was Mermaids! ....because who doesn't love mermaids right?  So for this box I wanted to create some fun bits as well as a more grown up take on the mermaid theme. When researching it I came across a lot of  cartoony mermaid illustrations and for this collection I wanted something a bit more subtle! So let's firstly take a look at the main photo used on our listing.

Here it is! ...but  it also has a big clue as to what was in the box as we included one of these prints in the box!

So with the theme in mind let's take a look at what was in the latest HOW Jewellery Club box!

In this box you will find:

-Laser cut pink shell charm necklace (RRP £12)

-Hand sculpted shell ring with organza bag and sequins! (RRP £5)

-Limited Edition Rockin Claws, Mermaid (RRP £3.50)

-Magical sea scented bath salts (RRP £2.50)

-Anchor hair slide (RRP £5)

-Mermaid glossy die cut stickers (RRP £5)

-Sparkly sea blue pencils (RRP £2.50)

-Custom made heart of the ocean candy (RRP £1)

-Part time mermaid pin from punky pins (RRP £5)

-A business card to one of our favourite stores the Art of Silvia "Silly" Ballardini

This box was great fun to make! The bath salts left HOW HQ smelling gorgeous for about a week! My favourites from this box are the pink shell necklace and the punky pins brooch as well as the stickers!  Next months theme will of course be 50's Diner and will be released on the 1st of March, 9am over at the HOW jewellery club website!

The birth of Ninja Kitty....

Over the past few days I have been working hard on coming up with some new ideas.... I wanted to share one of them with you and the progress of the design :) So here is Ninja Kitty.  Inspired by my crazy little furball of a kitten, Dinah.  I swear she gets up to so many adventures when my back is turned! See how the little kitty was born by scrolling down below :)

Original pen outline

Having a play with some potential colours...

Next Ninja Kitty was scanned into the computer and outlined...

After the outline was completed it was time to add some colour!

and after a bit of fiddling, tweaking and changing....

Ninja Kitty was completed!

I hope you like our little Ninja Kitty as much as we do! I can't wait to see him on a range of HOW goodies.  What would you like to see him on?
